Ubuntu unity not appearing in VMware

Question

I recently installed Ubuntu 14.4 on my VMware. (It opens in command line. Using startx enters me into GUI mode.)

Problem: I cannot see side panels and menu bar:

Unity not appearing

I took the following steps so far:

Is there anything more required?

hmm, but why does it require reinstalling? :( That will be the last resort. — Zameer Ansari, Jun 18 '15 at 20:05
it is sad, but something could have gone wrong with the installation, who knows. Just a possibility. Also, did running from the disk (to get it to install) bring up the GUI? (the full desktop gui, not just a scaled down install) — Snappawapa, Jun 18 '15 at 20:08

The problem was with easy installation of VMware. I built a new Virtual machine (without allowing VMware to install the OS on it's own) and installed the OS manually. After that adjusted the resolution.

Now there is no display issue.
